The precariousness in space told by the Jackal in Goodbye Fucking Green Faces

Finally, the Neapolitan group of webstar filmmakers, who have been gaining millions of views for years with their ironic series and videos, are coming to the big screen with “Addio Fottuti musi verdi”: a social science fiction action comedy directed by Francesco Ebbasta (real name Francesco Capaldo).
The protagonists are Ciro Priello, Fabio Balsamo, Alfredo Felco, Simone Ruzzo, in a cast that also includes Roberto Zibetti, Beatrice Arnera and cameos by Fortunato Cerlino, Salvatore Esposito and Gigi D'Alessio.
In the story, the theme of perpetual precariousness in Italy has an extraterrestrial solution: it is in fact the aliens who offer a permanent contract to Ciro, a thirty-year-old advertising graphic designer who supports himself by working in Naples in a Chinese-run chip shop.
The adventure between Earth and space will become a comical battle to save the human race. In Italy it is not easy to find your own path, "you try ten times, but if you don't succeed, it's right to leave - say Francesco Capaldo and Ciro Priello, drawing a parallel with the reality of many peers -. First of all you have to realize yourself and then maybe you can come back enriched by the experiences you have had". The theme of precariousness "because it is very present in society and in our sector, that of communication. It is difficult to be able to tell the stories you want. We succeeded - adds Francesco Capaldo - We could have made a film on The effects of Gomorrah on people as many asked us, instead with Cattleya (which produces with Rai cinema) we were able to create a project that we really believed in".
For the group, science fiction is an old passion: "as kids we went to see Independence Day, the blockbuster par excellence, beautiful and tacky. From there was born our desire to play with the genre, as we had already done in Lost in Google". The arrival at the cinema, explains Priello "came from the need to tell a longer story, that respected the canonical cinematographic language, but without betraying what we have always been, for this we hope our audience will follow us". The greatest difficulty was maintaining the pace for an hour and a half and gradually correcting all the drops in tone: "I have seen the film one hundred and fifty-six times and it is not an invented number, I can't wait to get to the one hundred and fifty-seventh, with the audience. Having made a project in three years, and not having received even one comment so far is exhausting" says Priello smiling. Goodbye Fucking Green Faces had a budget of around two million four hundred thousand euros, higher than the average for first works in Italy: "So it was possible to make the film we wanted - says Riccardo Tozzi of Cattleya - also thanks to The Jackal, who are Swiss-precise".
Among the funniest moments in the story is certainly the cameo by Gigi d'Alessio, who has been targeted several times in the past by the group: "we explained the plot and the character to him, he thought about it for a moment and told us guaglio' and pruvamm, facimm' - says Francesco Capaldo -. He lent himself to making fun of himself with fantastic intelligence". Now the Jackal is already working on new film projects "but not science fiction. We would like to experiment with new stories and genres".
